Lean and minerally with a beautiful oak blends. Intense in the palate with long finish. Not quite ready yet but drinking fine now.
This Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes has a lovely intense red color. It is just as flattering to the nose thanks to a seductive palate of very fruity aromas - notes of black currant, red currant and plum. The mouth is fleshy and well-balanced and enhanced by discreet woody notes with a pleasant finish.
Pinot Noir is the red wine grape of Burgundy, now adopted (and feverishly studied) in wine regions all over the world. The variety's elusive charm has carried it to all manner of vineyards, from western Germany and northern Italy to Chile, South Africa, Australia and, perhaps most notably, California, Oregon and New Zealand. It is the patriarch of the Pinot family of grape varieties – so called because their bunches are similar in shape to a pine cone (pinot in French). Other members of this family include Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Meunier, Aligote and Pinot Noir's white-wine counterpart, Chardonnay.
Expresses aromas of red and black fruits. Always hand-harvested, whole Gamay grapes are vinified using a specific regional method called Beaujolais vinification. Firstly, intracellular soaking inside the grapes develops greedy and fruity flavors as well as the flexibility inherent in this variety. Meanwhile, the alcoholic fermentation will allow us to gradually remove all compounds that will bring color, structure and support these sensations. If this phenomenon takes place over a relatively short period (about 10 days), the breeding of several months helps to refine these pleasant characteristics by providing more complex aromatic and tasting notes (notes of spices, pepper, as well as intensity and length).
